Seems to me it will affect lots of people and their employers will either cut benefits or the tax is just another tax imposed to pay for Obamacare.

I don't know that much about it but it seems like an awfully stupid provision in the ACA. To suggest it is going to somehow magically cut costs is just silly. At most it will change who pays for them.

It will hardly affect any plans.

Apparently that statement of yours probably isn't true. (I added the probably because the quote below is an estimate, its not like we actually have 2018 data, much less 2028.)

"this tax will impact about 26 percent of employers who offer health benefits when the tax is first imposed in 2018, growing to 42 percent of employers ten years later."
